Interstates that continue as a state highway

Interstates that continue as state hwy with same number

[SEWIGuy]

Ah yes...here we are arguing over the proper content for the topic again.

[english si]

And some former/soon-to-be-former ones

NY 481 should probably be considered "soon to be former".

It was more the disputed nature of two of those three (is AR440 gone yet? IN265? - both are still on TM) that I was going for with "former/soon-to-be-former" phrase - ie that they are former is perhaps not the case.

Whereas no one thinks that I-481 has been removed already. It's a "soon to be former" case, but not a "former/soon-to-be-former" one.

[roadman65]

A 'US' highway is a state highway.

If we're going that route [pun not intended], then so is an Interstate highway.

"...with the same number."

(same number)

The OP specified that the interstate should continue as a state highway that has the same number.

You know, this is why people should make the thread topic actually match what they intend.  All the topic actually says is 'continue as a state highway'.

It should but it don't.  The world ain't perfect. 

It all depends on who made the OP too.  Some posters are very sensitive to the others not following the intentions of that person and  some posters who don't care if the thread is derailed after they post it figuring it's a waste to inform the others users that they're not reading correctly or some don't care period if people read their posts the way intended.

[Molandfreak]

If FL 10 were posted a bit more consistently up I-95 until the I-10 interchange, it could count as a signed continuation.

It sure doesn't seem to depend in this particular thread:  the OP isn't the one complaining.

Didn't say he was.

I was commenting to the one who stated that the OP should be more direct in posting that he means the continuation of the same route number.

Edit: My bad. I assumed that post 44 was made by the OP as he quoted many users who didn't follow the OP.

I assumed by nature that it was him that made that long quoted post.   It's so odd that a third party would have the passion of the first.

Couple more:

I-691 continues as CT 66
I-587 in NY continues as NY 28 at both ends

[JayhawkCO]

I-70 continues as I-70.

[ilpt4u]

I-70 continues as I-70.

Nope. It continues on a bus or carpool to Baltimore 

[vdeane]

I-587 in NY continues as NY 28 at both ends

Nope.  NY 28 ends at NY 32 just as I-587 does.  Although it does bring up an interesting point.  IMO routes that overlap are really stretching the definition here.  In my mind, this is about the state route designation acting as a continuation of the interstate... which isn't really the case with overlaps, where one route ends and the other doesn't.

This is the weirdest "your mom" joke I ever saw.

[kphoger]

Not sure if this would count, but Interstate 41 continues as US-41 in both directions.

and not a state highway.

A 'US' highway is a state highway.

If we're going that route [pun not intended], then so is an Interstate highway.

I-694 continues as I-494.

I-70 continues as I-70.

Nope. It continues on a bus or carpool to Baltimore

You win the thread.

And some former/soon-to-be-former ones

NY 481 should probably be considered "soon to be former".

But they don't actually continue onto each other, as the gap in the Outer Beltway is in the middle.

It's like saying the same with I-/NC74. It's just not quite what the question was. 

Isn't the gap at the south end?   Between Parkton and I-95 at the Robeson County Line just south of I-95 Business?

I remember a friend of mine clinched that and he said he had to use back roads between I-95 and Parkton to be able to clinch that route in its entirety.

Part of the southern section may have opened prior to the link to I-95.  That might be what you're remembering.

You know, this is why people should make the thread topic actually match what they intend.  All the topic actually says is 'continue as a state highway'.

Of course, people could also read the OP (and ideally the rest of the thread, we're only on page 2 after all) before replying, especially since some things are hard to boil down into something short enough to make into a fully clarifying thread title.

I-95 continuing as NB 95?

Not sure what part of my post you're replying to, but roadman65 was referring to I-295 in North Carolina.

Granted, NB isn't a state in the USA, either.

There exists a parallel system of two-letter state abbreviations for use by the US Coast Guard for vessel registrations. This system closely tracks what the USPS has, but there are 12 exceptions:

California is CF
Colorado is CL
Delaware is DL
Hawaii is HA
Kansas is KA
Massachusetts is MS
Michigan is MC
Mississippi is MI
Nebraska is NB*
Washington is WN
Wisconsin is WS
the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands is CM*, not MP.

*NB and CM used to be the USPS abbreviations as well.

These letter codes are most commonly found as the beginning of the registration numbers that are applied to both sides of the bow of a boat along with a state registration sticker. These decals function much like a license plate in a maritime setting.

I've never been one to get pedantic over the state/province thing.  Provincial examples are in the same spirt as state examples in practically every thread that mentions "states".  And I-95/NB 95 is certainly a unique example.

I feel the same way about US territories. I've been including Guam, DC, and Puerto Rico (the ones I've been to) in the same "level" as other US states in various threads.

And lets not forget about the Commonwealths of Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

[kphoger]

This does not make them not states in the slightest.

I-70 continues as I-70.

Nope. It continues on a bus or carpool to Baltimore 

I-70 doesn't go to Baltimore!
